what do the giants do? it just like they have done all postseason. >> matt: the second straight night. every hop, every little moment seemed to turn the giants away. ken rosenthal standing by with a couple of the giants game two heroes. >> ken: thanks, matt. hunter, eighth inning, bases loaded, one out against dotel. you get down 0-2. what were you thinking during that at-bat? >> oh, man, he made two great pitches. i tried to shorten up. get on the plate a little bit and badges as hard as i could. and put in that situation with a lot of good at-bats, a great stolen base by pagan. buster worked a lot, and we played good small ball today. we played a good game of baseball. had outstanding pitching, great defense and we found a way to get it done. >> the sacrifice fly made it 2-0. you also scored after leading off the seventh with a single. knocked out fister. how tough was it to generate offense off him tonight? >> he had that fastball really moving. he was really pounding it in, working the lied slider and c

the giants scored in the first inning.ored first will win six of the seven games. and that would stand to reason with as good as these two bullpens are, get the lead early was a big part of the success game to game in this lcs. the count 0-2. >> tim: neither starter for either side went five innings in game one. the bullpens took over and showed how good they were going to be throughout this series. and they have been terrific. >> joe: here is an 0-2. reaching for it and a ground ball to kozma. drops it. still struggling. runner coming to the plate and out! out to end the inning, as kozma is shaking his head, leaving the field. he kicked a routine ground ball, but recovered to get pagan coming to the plate. maybe. the taguchi by molina sends us into the eighth. it's 8-0. now, that's what i call a test drive. silverado! the most dependable, longest lasting, full-size pickups on the road. so, what do you think?

the giants lead. this one down the line in left. the giants have regained the lead.run buster posey! line drive into centerfield! the throw not in time! scutaro delivers and the giants lead 4-3 in 10th. got him looking and the giants have won it all! up next on a "a second look" we take a bite out of halloween and get into the season we look at ghosts in the movies. and "a second look" remembers the man with the big cigar who made awful horror films. good evening i'm julie haener and we prepare by visiting the monsters, vampires from bela lugosi to tom cruise bringing the blush sucking creatures to light. >> the screen's real first horror tail was a striking 1922 german film braced on bram stockers' dracula movie that copyright courts ordered the destruction of every print. luckily a few copies followed. with an emaciated body, with a rat-like head he had no redeeming social graces. the first film vampire with personality was dracula, but bella lugosi appeared evil and creepy even while engaged in benign conversation. >> i have charted a ship to take us to england. w

today was the giant's defense that did all the talking. th we are septembered by o makamara -- alex smith hit by omakamara. david akers missed two field goal attempts. including this one from 52 yards out. giants still led at halftime 10- 3. nobody is supposed to be able to run against that san francisco defensive line but the giants rush for 149 yards. bradshaw scores from one yard out to make it 17-three giants in the third quarter. alex smith threw just one interception in the first five games combined he was picked three times today. roll had two of them in the third quarter. each one turned into field goals for new york. smith was also sacked six times. here he is on a third and 16 play. bad choice. smith picked off again by roll. they're on a roll. 49ers get beaten all phases of the game. they came in averaging nearly 30 points per game. they get just three today. >> we forced some things tonight. i feel like i forced some things. uncharacteristic. i turned the ball over. any time you turn the ball over like that it's tough to win. i

and the giant have won the pennant! >> yeah, poetic justice, giants with 9-0, they advance to the world series for the second time in three years and the fifth time since they moved to the bay area. the giants will play detroit starting on wednesday at at & t, but tonight was about celebrating. >> we're going to go out there until the last out. we're going to play hard, and we've shown it. this is unbelievable, never been done before, that's the type of team we are. it was a blessing. >> is this the best rain has felt to you. >> i'm from seattle and this is by far the best it's felt to me. >> we had so many challenges, cabrero off the field. or the dodgers with their bhok buster deal. each time we elevate and then the elimination game. so each time we got better, we faced what seemed to be a big challenge. >> we're a little numb to be honest. with our backs to the wall as hong as they've been and to do this, this is a special group. >> never had this opportunity to be in the playoff or play a world series, and now i'm g

the giants do it again. again by a 2-0 score, just like game two, and they go for the sweep tomorrow night in detroit. giants pitching has completely neutralized the tiger offense. here's mike shumann. >> mike: the joints with win great defense and timely hitting. >> once again, great pitching, solid defense. >> it's what we have been doing all postseason. so that's why we keep doing it. vogey pitched great. >> and then timmy comes in. phenomenal. >> he has been lights out of othe bull pen. his stuff looks great. he has been doing a good job. >> pablo, you picked a good series for your bat to be in fuego. you're on fire at the plate. >> all the guys, a little piece in there. the pitching staff doing great. this is occasion when all the pieces together, you win games. >> mike: back-to-back shutouts. the pitching has been phenomenal. >> you isn't ask -- can't ask for more. everyone is trying to pitch in. the defense and starting proaddition has been amazing. so you look through everything we have been through a

the giants have released their entire rotation for the series. the lineup goes just like this, madison bum gardner will pitch tomorrow for game two. ryan vogelson will make his someday buy in game three. matt cane pitches game four and tim lincecum provides relief in the bullpen. >>> baseball is the hottest ticket in all of sports right now and crazy high prices if you want the premium seats for the series. because giants' fans love baseball, some are going above and beyond to get a piece of the action. kristy smith is going to tell us exactly what fans are going to do for a slice of baseball history. good morning, kristy. >> reporter: good morning to you. you can really feel the energy picking up here outside of at&t park. there are a lot of deliveries happening. they asked fans not to show up until a little later in the afternoon, but how can they help it? this is the world series we are talking about. a lot of the fans we spoke with this morning feel it is something they do personally could actually have anqo impactn the outcome of this game.

it is 5- nothing, the giants. ndoal has 2 home runs and justin verlander has been knocked out of the game and kron will be there at 8:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. with complete details. >> we will see you at 8:00 p.m., goodnight. >>> the frenzy over donald trump and gloria allred's surprise announcements about president obama and mitt romney. as obama hits hollywood tonight. i'm kevin frazier. >>> "the insider" is on. >>> all he has to do to get $5 million is release his passport records. >> trump versus the president. allred versus romney. the aftermath of their hyped-up mud-slinging. >> these two are probably the best-known masters of drumming up publicity. >> the president today before his leno appearance. >>> we're on the ground for the first lady's fund-raiser here at will and jada smith's mansion. we're taking you inside. >> as hollywood takes sides over star endorsements. >> we try to support them. >> we clash. >> i just didn't get it. >>> bobby brown arrested for dui again, as the houstons open up about whitney's

the giants, a scrappy lineup. because he was batting .500, guys, you can't disregard prince fielder who's been quiet in the postseason for the tigers but is always a threat. the two big dogs, like you mentioned, miguel cabrera, buster posey. cabrera hit .313 in the lcs. cabrera has been shut down since, batting just .178 total for the postseason. but altogether, the giants won six elimination games to get to this point so nothing is insurmountable for these guys. >> i think everybody on the team now understands the difficulty. i think they have a pretty good idea of what to expect. >> there's always a wild card in these games. i'm picking delmon young of the tigers. he was the ncsmvp for detroit. two home runs, two walks and six rbi. so watch out for him. he is the tigers dh but starting in left field for the tigers tonight. barry zito squares off against verlander. tonight, 5:00, first pitch. >> thank you very much, good to see you. besides hitting, the biggest story is the pitching. tonight zito takes the mound f

that started a celebration from the giants' dugout. crazy. rzepczysnki takes over. two on, one out. the batter is sandoval, who flies it to right. beltran back to his left. the runners tag, advancing to third is pagan. >> tim: that was really a gritty at-bat by ryan theriot. six pitches, and on the sixth he lined one to left center field. but there was not a ball thrown in that sequence. six straight strikes. >> joe: by the way, i want to clean something up that i said earlier. in the match-up in game three, the yankees and tigers, i read sabathia, but it's going to be phil hughes. the climb for the yankees, down two games to nothing, starts the middle part of that series in detroit with houston, not sabathia, on short rest against verlander. the raining cy young and mvp award winner, 17-game winner, a guy who clinched game five of the division series. but he did it the day before the yankees and sabathia took care of baltimore. he gets the ball in game three against houston on tbs tomorrow night. >> tim: verlander just off the clinche
